Wine

This expansive brewery boasts artsy New Orleans-inspired décor and a great location at one end of downtown Brea. It pours top beers by brewmaster Victor Novak, including a cream ale and a potent Irish Red. Beer-lovers can't get enough of his seasonal brews---from oatmeal stout to deliciously spicy pumpkin ale. With all these hearty brews, food almost doesn't seem necessary. Almost. We find that chef Robert Urquidi's seafood, Midwestern Angus steaks and spicy Cajun specialties come as a pleasant surprise, along with the county's biggest oyster bar serving the freshest of seafood. The Sunday jazz brunch is a real treat (and great value), when the raw bar and several tables in the bar area are loaded with a variety of delicacies. Guests pile their plates with cracked crab claws, fresh oysters, spicy peeled shrimp and imported cheeses, while prepared entrées range from jambalaya to biscuits 'n' gravy and chefs at various stations make waffles, omelets and pastas to order. Waiters keep the Champagne flutes---or, for real beer fanatics, the pint glasses---full. |
